Since this is a pop-up faerie gathering, we have some intentions to remember to keep this a unique and special place.
NON-COMMERCIAL
Faerie Freedom Village is a non-commercial space. There is nothing to buy and nothing to sell. You're invited to share things.
CAMERAS
Cameras can be intrusive. Ask permission, or even better, get to know that person before taking their picture.
GATE
There will be both an Entry and an Exit gate staffed by lovely faeries from 10am until the end. Donations are requested, but not required (see below). Buttons will be given as tokens to those who donate at the entrance (while supplies last). These tokens can also be used for re-entry.
PASSWORD
Faeries who see the line for the Entry gate as just too long may DISCREETLY use the "password" to enter through the Exit/Re-entry gate. You may still be asked for a donation. The password is a WORD OF MOUTH thing and not to be shared on social media. There will be consequences.
VOLUNTEERS & ANGELS
Fabulous fae folk who have helped out in volunteer events or individually will get a special limited edition Faerie Freedom Village “Angel” button which grants free entrance to the village (These will be passed out at events or by way of FFV team leads over the next few days, or at the village)
DONATIONS - NOTAFLOF / GAYBAGS
No one turned away for lack of funds / Give as you are able but always give something. We request donations at the gate. All workers volunteer their time. But creating this space still requires thousands of dollars to cover expenses for equipment rentals; fees & permits; decorations & set up supplies; truck rental, gas & transportation, food & beverage; year-round storage; and many other things. Any funds raised beyond FFV expenses go to Calamus Fellowship (see below) as seed money for future events, grants or other programs. Donations may be made online prior to the event here: https://commitchange.com/ca/san-francisco/calamus-fellowship/campaigns/faerie-freedom-village
